A Little Empty Space

The strappy tank was a complete success, and he says the photo form the last entry doesn't do it justice at all. But the end of the weekend brought the unavoidable resolution of the relationship, and there's no knitting I want to work on now.

Last night during my knitting class I worked on each project for a little bit, eventually deciding I didn't want to be working on this one and dropping it to the ground. After two hours I had a pile of in-progress pieces next to my chair. I didn't even knit on the T home -- just played mindless games on my pilot.

I picked up something new this morning and we'll see how it goes. I think I'll be ripping out the blue and white baby blanket this week, following a suggestion that I rip a UFO, and clearly I haven't liked it anyway.

It will probably be a few days before I want to write a much more. Hopefully some sunny days this weekend and perhaps beginning to pack to move and start over will turn my spirits.

I'm sorry to read that.
Better days will soon be here. :0)

Hang in there. Don't even think about knitting and suddenly you will find you just have to knit. It will probably come as the urge to start something new and you will need to get just the right yarn. Your mom can tell you my orders come when I see something I HAVE to have and when I need something new to lift me out of the doldrums. She is always happy to oblige. :-)

Been there, done that, burned the t-shirt. Hang in there, Ingrid - it will get better over time. Looking forward to seeing you in August in Colorado!!

Change is not easy. Even good change. Take a break from the knitting, watch a good movie, read a great book. Or play more mindless games. Spider Solitaire was a favorite of mine for a while. Or really go for a change and start playing the Sims. Hang in there.
